Methylene Blue for Parents: The Science-Backed Fix for Energy, Calm, and Burnout with Dr. Scott Sherr

Biohacking with Brittany

Board-certified internal medicine physician and health-optimization specialist Dr. Scott Sherr talks about parenting with presence, nervous-system regulation, mitochondrial health, and when methylene blue actually makes sense.

We get practical about small, sustainable changes (especially for exhausted parents), alcohol and GABA, and why looking at your "holobiont" beats one-size-fits-all wellness.

Listen if you want practical, parent-friendly strategies to protect your energy, model healthy habits for your kids and partner, and create a calmer baseline before relying on tech or supplements.

WE TALK ABOUT:

05:00 - What "health optimization" really means vs. disease care

08:10 - Balancing work, partnership, and nervous-system regulation

12:35 - Sustainable micro-habits that stick

15:15 - Small changes that create big impact

17:30 - Alcohol, GABA, and the slippery slope of "relaxation"

23:05 - Methylene blue 101 and why mitochondria matter

36:15 - The holobiont lens: Optimize the whole "you," not just symptoms

44:20 - Can we actually measure mitochondrial function yet?

46:40 - When and how to use methylene blue for energy + calm
